in saucepan over medium-low heat, stir until the egg whites moisten everything, the sugar melts

Cook the macaroon mixture, stirring constantly so it doesn’t scorch on the bottom of the pan. As the egg whites heat, it will look creamy and almost foamy. We want to gently cook the whites and cook off some of the liquid, so slowly heat and stir the macaroons for about 5-7 minutes.

As the macaroons cook, they’ll go from loose and creamy to a texture that’s more sticky and gluey. The whole mixture will start to hold together in more of a clump. It shouldn’t reach a point where it gets dry, pasty, or crumbly.

Scrape dough into bowl, cover with plastic wrap, let cool for several hours on counter (or refrigerate to speed up)

Use cookie scoop to form 15-20 cookies

Slowly mix in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and oil.Alternate mixing the flour mixture and the sour cream into the wet ingredients, starting with the flour and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined.

Spray a 10-inch bundt pan well with non stick cooking spray, or grease with butter and flour. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and evenly spread it around.Bake at 350°F for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Cover loosely with foil if needed for the last 5-10 minutes of baking to prevent excess browning.Remove from the oven and cool in the pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Then invert the cake onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
